It’s a long article and I don’t care to go point by point. If you think the author is presenting an unbiased argument, there’s probably little I can do to change your mind.
But as someone who’s searching for the injustice in this employee’s termination, I didn’t like how they went down the “blue bubble” checklist of BLM, white privilege, etc. in an exasperated undertone like: “Could you believe what these liberals at Reuters believe?” and “Can you believe this poor guy was fired for daring to have a different opinion?”
If you want me to have sympathy for this individual, tell me what he did and why it wasn’t a fireable offense per his employee contract/handbook. Instead the author is trying to poke at culture war points to win hearts while ignoring our minds.
Or if the employee contract / handbook is the problem, then focus on that.
- awb 5y agoFYI, here’s the author’s Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Rufo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Rufo > Christopher F. Rufo (born August 26, 1984)[1] is an American conservative activist. So yeah, I’d say he’s biased. The article reads like an activist wrote it: little to no substance and tons of half-developed thoughts trying to appeal to people’s outrage.
- civilized 5y agoThis is what happened: 1. Kriegman wrote a post critical of BLM. 2. He vetted it with HR and the head of DEI and incorporated their feedback. 3. He was harassed in a disgraceful and racist fashion on internal social media. 4. He complained about the harassment to his superiors via email after being banned from said internal social media. 5. He was fired. All of this is documented on Kriegman's Substack with direct quotes from primary sources.
